Alternating strips of brightly colored pre-felt...
...and strips of painter's plastic...
...(cut to the same width)...
...to form a woven grid.
Wetting out the project...
...and covering it with a layer of silk gauze.
Mid-way through felting...
...the colored fibers are beginning to migrate through the silk...
...and the plastic strips have rolled up into cords.
Fulling the project.
Overall, I consider this a failed experiment...
...as the intentional gaps left from the insertion of the plastic strips...
...were ultimately not all that interesting. :(
Next time: something that actually worked! :)

Experiments don't have to be entirely successful if you learn something interesting from them...!
